...goalie's risks better than the Philadelphia Flyers' Bernie Parent. "You don't have to be crazy to be a goalie," says Parent, "but it helps." If so, Parent must be crazier than most. For the past two years, he has been the best goal tender in hockey. Last year Parent all but carried the Flyers to the playoffs. He appeared in 73 of their 78 games, led the league in shutouts (twelve), and had the lowest goals-against average per game (1.89). In the playoffs he shut down the high-scoring offenses of New York...
...called "sixty minutes of hell." Says Parent in his clipped French Canadian accent: "I like playing in that place. I always have." He is superbly suited for his work. A hockey goal, 6 ft. wide and 4 ft. high, provides a 24-sq.-ft. opening. Since the average goal tender - Parent included - fills a space of about 8 sq. ft. in his 35 lbs. of padding, his job boils down to protecting the remaining area with stick, glove or body...
...outlook is cloudier in Michigan. A nearly unanimous board of directors of Pontiac's Community National Bank is working hard to thwart a tender offer by Ahmad C. Sarakbi, 45, for 50.1% of the bank's shares. A wealthy Lebanese oil broker, Sarakbi is supported by a former chairman of the bank who deplores its present management policies, and a lone director who has been feuding with his colleagues. Sarakbi insists he is acting completely on his own, but Community National directors worry that he could be acting for larger non-government Middle East oil interests looking...
...interested in turning a fast profit than in caring for their elderly patients. Ralph Nader's group described nursing homes with depressing accuracy in a 1970 report. Mary Mendelson, a Cleveland community-planning consultant, exposed the industry's seamy side last spring in her well-researched book Tender Loving Greed (TIME, June 3). Last week nursing homes were once again under scrutiny, this time by federal and state investigators. In Manhattan, a subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging opened hearings into charges of abuses and irregularities in New York nursing homes and got a glimpse...
...production revealed above all was that, amazingly enough, Mussorgsky knew exactly what he was doing. He also made fierce demands on the orchestral players, often asking, say, the horns to play in unusually high, tricky registers. These requirements the musicians met magnificently in a now explosive, now tender performance powerfully led by Schippers. When Mussorgsky used just two clarinets and two bassoons to accompany the troubled Boris, he had a somber, dry, psychologically adroit sound in mind that was infinitely more effective than the 60 or so strings and winds Rimsky thought sounded better. Mussorgsky used the harp only once...
